Abstract:

This thesis defines collective systems as a unique category of creative expression through the procedures of micro and macro cycles that address the transition from connectivity to collectivity. This thesis discusses the necessary technology, context, and terminology, and provides a conceptual structure for the execution, discussion and evaluation of these procedures. This is supported through discussing the author's contribution to the OPENSTUDIO project and the Open I/O system.
